4.7 / 5.0(2,065 reviews)
Absolutely amazing 👏 Just been in Banzeiro Sao Paulo and had the best experience food of my live! I can't believe I almost missed this restaurant in my holidays. A big thank you to the "Carioca" guy at the John John's store who recommended me this restaurant. I had two starters, the ants 🐜 and a shrimp bao, for the main I went with Amazon piracuru, and for dessert a delicious Macaxeira cheesecake. Would recommend to everyone visiting Brazil. I will keep the experience of the Amazonia food in my heart for many and many years and hope to come back for more soon. A big thank you to all the nice staff, you're amazing 👏 ❤ A very cool concept very well executed. Flavors and ingredients from the Amazon, served in a vibey São Paulo space. I started with the leaf cutter ants on a lemon curd. Salty, crunchy and adventurous start to the evening. I also had the ribs appetizer, sweet and smoky and rich meat flavors. For my main I had the shrimp rice, with huge and delicious 🦐 laid on top of fried rice with pork. Heaven in a bowl 🤤 A friend recommended this Amazon jungle–themed restaurant called Banzeiro São Paulo, and I thought, “Well, I’ve never eaten Amazonian food before, so why not?” 😂 Most of the dishes are made with river fish, which already felt like an adventure. There was one that looked exactly like ribs, but surprise—it was fish. Mind blown. The flavors were… let’s just say interesting. I couldn’t quite tell if it was delicious or confusing, but definitely memorable. Oh, and they literally served a dish with two ants on the plate. Yes, I ate them. Yes, on purpose. Overall, a really cool experience I’d still recommend if you’re ever in São Paulo. Just note that no one there speaks English although featured on Michelin guide—but hey, that’s what Google Translate (and awkward hand gestures) are for. 😅

This was awesome. Amazing Amazonian food that was served to perfection. Get the fish ribs and purée seasoned with ants (it sounds weird but it’s deeeelish). Check out the venom shop across the street

What a wonderful experience we had this evening trying out Amazonian dishes. The ants on yucca were surprisingly tasty but my favourite has to be the moqueca- frankly the best I have ever tasted ! Service was also amazing.
